Fluoroshield™ with PPD (p-phenylenediamine; 1,4-phenylenediamine) is an aqueous mounting medium for preserving fluorescence of tissue and cell smears.

Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY

Differentiation solution comprises acidified ethanol or isopropanol that is used to decolourise hematoxylin stain. The duration of exposure to the solution determines the degree of decolourisation. Differentiation is a crucial step in hematoxylin-eosin staining to achieve the proper colour contrast necessary for visualisation, by selectively removing excess hematoxylin from the tissue section and leaving behind the desired staining intensity.

Spurr resin is a hydrophobic resin. It is less viscous than epon mixtures and is easier to dispense. The low viscosity of the resin contributes to its penetration in tissue, mineral and dense structures. A low viscosity of 60 cps also allows easy penetration into a variety of difficult materials.

Supplier: PanReac AppliChem

Biochemical grade immersion oil for microscopy.

Supplier: Avantor

Mounting medium for coverslipping of slides.

Supplier: Merck

Kaiser's glycerol gelatin is an aqueous mounting medium for microscopy and works well with specimens prepared for enzyme, lipid, and immunohistochemistry determinations.

Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY

Suitable for use with large and small mineralized (undecalcified) bone sections. Yields clear, hard blocks for cutting sections. Not water-soluble.

Supplier: Merck

Entellan® new is a new mounting medium for cover slippers and is specially suited for commercial automated mounting instruments that operate with cover slippers. Its viscosity ranges between 250 and 600 mPas, 1,00869 has a small viscosity range. This narrow viscosity range improves and accelerates the application, as neither the dropping rate nor the volume need to be reset after the first run with a new bottle of Entellan® new.
